Huckleberry Hound

Premiered In: 1962 Status: Ended (Missing Episodes)
3 Seasons, 30 Minute Episodes

Notes:

Huckleberry is a well-educated dog with a southern accent. There's very little consistency to this series, as Huckleberry seems to take on a new role nearly every episode. You could assume he's a Renaissance dog, which would explain how he knows and accomplishes so much, but that's probably reading too much into the series. This was after all, the very early years of Hanna Barbera's inception, so cartoons were much simpler back then and didn't need as much consistency as they do for the more sophisticated viewing audience of today.

Jabberjaw

Premiered In: 201 Status: Ended
1 Seasons, 30 Minute Episodes

Notes:

Playing on the success of the teenagers with an anamorphic animal pet formula, Jabberjaw takes a much different approach. Instead of using an adorable dog, the "pet" in this case is a great white shark. I loved this series, unfortunately, it only lasted one season.

Johnny Bravo

Premiered In: 1998 Status: Ended
4 Seasons, 30 Minute Episodes

Notes:

Johnny Bravo is a legend in his own mind. With an Elvis voice and macho physique he believes he's God's gift to women. The problem is, he's the only one that thinks that.

Magilla Gorilla

Premiered In: 1964 Status: Ended
2 Seasons, 30 Minute Episodes

Notes:

Magilla is a gorilla in suspenders, hat and bow tie, who lives in Mr. Peebles pet store, because the owner is unsuccessful in being able to sell him at least, to anyone who will keep him. Magilla is adopted by new owners almost every episode and without fail, he somehow ends up returning or being returned to the store.

Pac-Man

Premiered In: 1982 Status: Ended
2 Seasons, 30 Minute Episodes

Notes:

Pac-Man is the greatest video game ever, if you disagree you're wrong. :) In typical 80's fashion, a TV show was created to milk the popularity of yet another cultural icon. It's very cheesy and odd for a children's cartoon, but met with moderate success as it lasted for 2 seasons before being canceled.
